EXE

EXE brings coaches and athletes together in one place: smart programs, guided execution, progress tracking and an active community. — FOR ATHLETES — • Adaptive programs Your sessions adjust to your readiness, sleep and progression. EXE suggests the optimal load on every set, detects PRs and adapts the rest of your cycle. • Guided gym sessions Background-resilient timers, screen kept awake, per-set RPE and rest, exercise briefing. Multiple execution types (straight sets, pyramids, drop sets, EMOM, AMRAP, circuits…). • Progress tracking Per-exercise weight, volume and reps charts. Automatic PR detection, 1RM estimation (Epley), progression suggestions (load to increase, hold or deload). • Full nutrition Log your meals in a few taps, search 3,500+ foods from the CIQUAL database, build your own recipes (with AI macro estimation). Calorie goals (Mifflin-St Jeor), hydration tracking and a 30-day nutrition progress tracker (adherence, calories, charts). • Your program, your tweaks Follow your coach's program and personalize it whenever you want: spin off your own editable copy without losing the tracking, or swap an exercise on the fly. Your coach sees your adaptations and your adherence — trust both ways. • Insights & wellness Plateau detection, missed sessions, persistent fatigue. Daily check-in (sleep, fatigue, goals) on a dedicated screen, decoupled from your program — log even without an active plan. • Personal AI coach Ask a question, request an adjustment, generate a workout or add meals to your plan — the agent understands your context and acts. Rich cards (form check, workout summary, nutrition summary with one-tap add), confirmation buttons, Markdown rendering. • Apple Health Sleep, heart rate, steps and calories sync. Your sessions can be saved back to Apple Health. • Community & challenges Posts, comments, likes, chat with your coach. Community challenges (volume, sessions, streak, PR) with leaderboards. — FOR COACHES — • Smart client dashboard Per-client health score (5 components), automatic alerts (inactive, program ending, performance drop, fatigue detected), quick actions. • Program builder Visual builder, nested blocks, edit mode. Exercise catalog with muscle/equipment filters. Client instance editor on a calendar-aligned grid (each day on its real date) + access badge in the header. • Athlete transparency See your clients' exercise substitutions and their adherence session by session. Get alerted when a client personalizes your program: stay in the loop even when the athlete adapts. • Coach AI assistant Generate a program, adjust a client, send a message — address a client by name right in the chat. The agent knows each client's status. • Sales and monetization Paid programs via Stripe, sliding commission (15% Starter → 0% Premium), client invitations, custom branding on Pro+ plans. Automatic payouts to your bank account every 7 days via Stripe — the platform absorbs the fees. • PDF reports White-label client reports: health score, performance, training patterns, top exercises, body tracking. • Business Intelligence (Premium) Client LTV, churn risk scoring, revenue forecasting, per-program performance. — ACCESS — The mobile app is free. Athletes: full access, with an optional Premium via in-app subscription. Coaches: manage your clients day to day; coach plans (Starter/Pro/Premium) are purchased and managed on the web portal — no coach subscription inside the mobile app. — PRIVACY — No ads, no advertising tracking. Our only measurement is first-party product analytics (EU-hosted) to improve the app — no reselling, no data brokers. Your data stays yours.
